Default Camber Kit info needed!!

Recently bought coilovers. Dropped about 1.8 inches. coilover has camber plates, but do I still need a front and rear camber kit for optimum fitment,tire wear, and performance?

On a side note, is there any difference between Skunk2 and Omni camber kits?

I'm going to guess this is for a 93 Civic CX. If so, those do not use and cannot use camber plates. Those are made for cars with McPherson strut suspensions where you tilt the whole spring/strut assembly to change camber. The angle of the spring/shock assembly on 90's Civics does not affect alignment at all.

I'm pretty sure your coilovers do not have camber plates on the upper mounts. If they did, you would not have been able to bolt them up at all.

If you want optimum performance, then don't bother with camber kits, unless you want to dial in MORE negative camber than what you get with a 1.8 drop.

As long as the toe-in is aligned correctly, you should not have problems with tire wear.
